Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to... - Langston Hughes

"Cheap little rhymesA cheap little tuneAre sometimes as dangerousAs a sliver of the moon."

"Hold fast to dreams,For if dreams dieLife is a broken-winged bird,That cannot fly."

"Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.I like to work, read, learn, and understand life."

"Though you may hear me holler,And you may see me cry--I'll be dogged, sweet baby,If you gonna see me die."

"I went down to the river,I set down on the bank.I tried to think but couldn't,So I jumped in and sank."
